Prologue

It was an ordinary weekend at the Clemetis household 
 Viola was playing the piano while Gregory read
 Their youngest children, Josh & Josie, were playing peekaboo 
  Jasmine, one of their teen twins was on the phone to her latest boyfriend
While the other, Joanna, had slipped out the house, and was at the Bridgeport graveyard looking out over the city and thinking about the future
She was horrified to see a meteor strike her house
 






Immediately, she started running for home
Where the meteor had started several large fires
The rest of the family were trapped in the living room, panicking as the room burned around them
 
Joanna arrived home to find the place in flames
 But she was too late to save her family
 

 She was only in time to see the Grim Reaper arrive to collect their souls


No amount of pleading would sway him
 "Death must come to us all child, it was their time"

    Good start though. Nice, concise, and straight to the point. :)

  4. Yeah, Joanna's not having a very good start to her life I'm afraid

    @Giga - Feel free to call her Jo, might think about shortening her name to that for everyday use actually :)

  7. I wanted to give her a family background, but also a reason why they weren't around and why she had no money

  10. I'm going to start reading your legacy. Looks like it might take a while though. :D I love the background you gave your founder. No one from no where is suddenly someone with a family and tragedy and all that good stuff.
